Thunar File Manager

Thunar is a project I started in mid 2004 (initially
named Filer, but renamed to Thunar, because of a name clash with Jens' Perl Filer), which aims at
developing an easy to use, lightweight file manager for the Unix/Linux desktop
(specifically the Xfce Desktop Environment).

Thunar Volume Manager (thunar-volman)

The Thunar Volume Manager provides
automatic management of removable drives and media for the the Thunar file manager, without adding another
daemon to the users desktop.

Thunar Archive Plugin (thunar-archive-plugin)

The Thunar Archive Plugin
is a very simple plugin for the Thunar
file manager, which allows users to create and extract archive files
(i.e. .tar.gz and .zip files) from within Thunar,
using the context menu.

Xfce developer tools (xfce4-dev-tools)

The Xfce developer tools
provide a collection of scripts and M4 macros that are required to
build the Xfce core desktop components
and various other software packages straight from SVN/CVS. You
do not need the developer tools if you are building from the release
tarballs.

Xfce desktop environment

Over the last years I wrote various bits and pieces of the Xfce desktop environment. Of the core
desktop components I currently maintain the session manager
(xfce4-session), the utility library (libxfce4util)
and the settings manager (xfce-mcs-manager), and I contributed
source code to most of the other components.

UPiDiff

The UPiDiff tool was developed as
part of a hands-on training at the University Siegen back in 2003.
It was renamed since then and is now known as SiDiff. Its constantly
extended with new features every year, but unfortunately it's one of
those University projects that doesn't attract external developers
because there's no real way to get involved.
